Luxuria Intro Log
With the real super power of teamwork, the Executors have successfully managed to make their way through the Gula Underside and defeat the previous Authority there. With Gerda now freed from her past regrets and given the power of an Executor, Gula and its inhabitants seem to be in safe hands... for now at least. More interesting – or concerning, perhaps – is the tentative ally you've gained in the form of Birdie, the mysterious girl who attacked some of your number in the Superbia Underside. While she seemed to be nothing but an enemy back then, a surprising connection has been formed with who you now understand to be the Authority of Purgatory itself. While she doesn't necessarily believe the Executors will be able to repair Purgatory, she is at least willing to admit that she shares their goals of wanting to see Purgatory restored... either to its former state, or to something new. But what does that mean for the Executors? And what does that mean for Rei supposedly born from the Authority's discarded heart? There are still many questions the Executors need to answer and as a blast of dry, hot air blows up from the next layer, you can only hope that Luxuria holds the key to at least some of them... | |
 ♪♫ Wet & Dry – Sakuzyo After the humidity and noise of the Gula Underside, passing down to the Lust Layer of Purgatory initially seems like a relief. The air here is dry and sharp and though you hear noise drifting up to meet you and see a whole rainbow of lights clustered together in the dark, it doesn't seem as though it'll be quite as overwhelming as some of the bustling Layers you've had the pleasure of exploring before. But as you set foot down into Luxuria and feel the heat of the ground under your feet, you begin to wonder if you might just have hopped out of the frying pan and into the fire... | |

I... wouldn't know anything about that. I didn't know what a television was until Invidia.
No, Father was a revolutionary inventor and alchemist. He created Steel London, the steam-powered fortress city that I lived in for a while. Maybe... he meant that he wanted me to follow in his footsteps. [ that's the only explanation she's been able to come up with. but then why— ] ... But he never taught me anything.
[ that much, she can be sure of without further memories. the one who taught her about alchemy for the very first time was Fran; the one who taught her about machines was Impey; the one who taught her the history of Steel London was Saint-Germain. all of that information was new to her. in two decades, her father told her nothing of his work. ]

[ the word will mean nothing to her, but what Wolfsbane said apparently struck some kind of chord; Mona grabs for one of Wolfsbane's hands suddenly. ] Wolfsbane, that's it—! Maybe he was talking about the Horologium! Ah, and the name I had before... He gave his magnum opus to me so that I could live. Father really did leave his legacy with me...
... But... I don't know what I was supposed to do with it.

What -- like the constellation? The one that's supposed to resemble a clock?

There's a gem... embedded in my body. It's something like a Philosopher's Stone.
I don't know why, but my heart doesn't beat. According to Dr. Frankenstein, the only thing keeping me alive is the stone in my body. The Horologium that Father created.

[It sounds familiar in a way that calls to the gaps in Wolfsbane's memory. She thinks, shakes her head.]
So you must have some great power, in that case, wouldn't you? That would explain it handily.
no subject
... Mmm... I think my great power is just being alive when I should, by all medical evidence, be dead.

[ she never thought she was special, in any of those memories. but... maybe that's why Lupin took her in at all? she doesn't like that idea. it makes all of the time they spent together... different. sours it. ]
I mean, it really wasn't a normal thing, in London. Not unless you were a man enlisted in the military, like Van Helsing. And even then, the only war that happened recently was against the vampires in England.

... Vampires used to live in England, but they were mostly wiped out in the war against them. They weren't a big part of the history I learnt, so that's all I really know.
